Still overeating even when you're trying to lose weight? You're probably eating too fast. It takes your brain 15-20 minutes to register fullness. By the time that signal arrives, most people have already had too much. Sated is a simple eating timer and weight loss tracker that helps you close that gap – one meal at a time. HOW IT WORKS – Tap Start before you eat Your eating timer begins. The longer your meal lasts, the sooner your brain catches up – and the less you'll need to feel full. Tips appear throughout to help you slow down, chew mindfully, and actually taste your food. – Done eating? Tap Finished A satiety countdown starts. This is the danger zone – when most people reach for seconds without needing them. The app shows you exactly when fullness is coming and keeps you grounded: still feel hungry? Drink a glass of water and wait. Works great alongside fasting routines too. – Feel full sooner? Log it Hit the button the moment you feel satisfied. Over time you'll see exactly how long your body needs – and start eating just enough to support real weight loss. – Your personal food tracker A dedicated tab stores your full meal history: when you ate, how long each meal lasted, and when fullness hit. Use it as a daily weight loss tracker – spot patterns, measure progress, and watch your habits shift. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most food tracker apps count calories or log every ingredient. Sated skips all that. No calorie counting, no diet plans – just an eating timer and smart nudges that target the real cause of overeating. Simple enough to use at every meal, powerful enough to drive lasting weight loss. MADE FOR YOU IF – You want to lose weight without strict diets – You often eat past the point of comfort – You do fasting and want to make every eating window count – You're tired of complicated food tracker apps – You've had bariatric surgery and need to eat slowly, chew thoroughly, and track every meal – Sated keeps you on protocol without the complexity A TOOL FOR BARIATRIC PATIENTS After gastric sleeve, bypass, or band surgery, eating pace isn't a preference – it's a medical requirement. Eating too fast leads to discomfort, dumping syndrome, and poor nutrient absorption. Sated gives bariatric patients a simple, dedicated tool to time every meal, build consistent habits, and stay accountable between appointments. No calorie math, no food logging – just the timer and structure your recovery needs. Start with one meal today.
